The Brown County Commission voted unanimously at their November 30th meeting to approve a 50 cent per hour cost of living increase for employees, with the exception of the Commissioners and a Community Corrections position.
In other business, the commission approved a pair of attorney contracts for 2024. They include a contract with Elizabeth Olson to provided guardian ad litem services for $2,600 a month and a contract with Judd Herbster to provide court-appointed attorney services for $3,500 a month.
